WHEREAS, the Company and Signing Holders continued to engage in discussions
relating to the possible restructuring of the Company and its Guarantors' debt

anticipated Defaults and Events of Default (as defined in the Indenture), and
the Signing Holders and the Trustee are willing to grant such further
forbearance on the terms and conditions provided herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and covenants herein

rights and remedies available under the Indenture and the Notes with respect to
any Default or Event of Default. Notwithstanding such forbearance, it is
understood by the Company and Guarantors that the Signing Holders and Trustee
have not waived any existing or anticipated Default or Event of Default, or any
rights or remedies in respect thereof, under the Indenture, Notes, or any other
agreements, instruments or documents executed and delivered in connection
therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby (collectively, the "INDENTURE
DOCUMENTS"). During the Second Forbearance Period (and thereafter), the Signing
Holders and Trustee shall be permitted to exercise any and all of their rights

or more of the Guarantors; and
(c) the first date during the Second Forbearance Period that any new
Default or Event of Default ("NEW DEFAULT") or by breach by the Company or
Guarantors hereunder occurs; notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the
exclusive purposes of this Second Standstill Agreement, a New Default shall
not include a Default or an Event of Default that exists as of one (1) day
preceding Effective Date and that continues beyond that date.
From and after the Forbearance Termination Date, the forbearance set forth
herein shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, and the Signing
Holders and Trustee shall be entitled to immediately exercise and enforce any
and all rights and remedies available to the Signing Holders and Trustee as a
consequence of any Defaults or Events of Default that have occurred prior to,
